Huge accomplishment (for me, post #ACLRepair ) - I managed full rotation on the stationary bike today. My right knee did full circles and I am Quite Pleased.
(I cried some too though. It’s ouchy to get to full healing)
Y’all! I can put all of my weight on my right leg! The PT is working!
It’s a big deal because that’s the one that needed surgery. And because that’s one more recovery marker closer to driving myself places again. #healing #ACLRepair
I have gained 10 more degrees of flex, and 1 more degree of extension in the past week.
I’m really proud of that. And even though PT makes me swear from the discomfort I’m grateful that it works.
I am capable of transporting the baby between rooms, thanks to a magical device known as a stroller, and my ability to walk with one crutch.
Progress!
Also, only 4 more days of full time leg jail.

With my transition to opioid-free, I went from a mindset that this is a necessary evil for controlling pain for my patients after surgery so that they can achieve the outcome of having a repair or reconstruction to this is not necessary.
